An interesting article recently ran in The Atlantic Cities, outlining the segregation of college-educated graduates. The thinking is, “smart” people will congregate beside other “smart” people, but there’s segregation within those communities. Let’s take a look.

I’m starting to get offers of admission from the colleges that I applied to (along with a few rejections, too), and I’ve narrowed down my choice to three: one’s an Ivy League college, another’s a state school, and the third is a big-name one that’s one state over.

One of my dreams when starting college was to spend a semester or year abroad because I just love traveling. I can’t even explain I have the draw to it, but it sparks something inside of me and makes me feel like myself. Problem?

College has been called everything from a necessary component of the American dream to the great unleveler, but it almost doesn’t matter to foreign students. No matter if they come from England or Eritrea, they’re subject to sky-high tuition under the “international” label. Tennessee and Oregon wanted to change that, and now Washington is following suit.

Even now, in college, I’m at a state school and living at home because it’s so close. And it sounds silly, but I’m nervous about flaming out once I get there, and then feeling homesick all the time when it’s supposed to be half-school, half-adventure.

U.S. colleges and universities have set a new record in charitable donations, as the Council for Aid to Education reports the amount spiked 9% to bring it up to $33.8 billion and past the high of $31.6 billion set in 2009.

It’s no secret that post-secondary education in the United States can be extremely expensive, but lawmakers in Oregon and Tennessee are trying to change that with bills that would make community college free for state high school grads.

There’s this girl in my class who doesn’t come about half the time, and then she always asks me for my notes. I’m tired of giving her my notes, especially because I make the effort to come to class all the time. What do I say to her to make her stop?
